Important medical notices
Please remember:
1. The user of this device has to be a physician and/or a trained clinical
staff under the physician’s control.
2. The treatment has to be permanently monitored by the staff.
3. The treatment needs extra care, when the patient has reduced thermal
sensitivity on the treated area.
4. Check the position of the electrode to keep it as parallel to the bed
surface as possible (try to avoid the electrode being placed on an
inclined angle). The applicator (electrode) has a flexible water-bolus to
enable the best interface with the patient. Please note that positioning
of the electrode is to be carefully controlled because some
temperature increase can occur at the skin’s surface. This will not be a
sudden effect and is can be controlled with patient feedback during
the treatment. In addition, users are advised to place medical hygienic
paper (see detailed description in Accessories and Appendix 9 for
datasheet) between the electrode and the patient to avoid direct skin
contact. Also, when positioning the electrode, avoid direct patient
contact with the black plastic border of the electrode during the
treatment to eliminate the risk of burning.
